About Professional Makeup Courses
What My Classes Are Like
I love seeing someone pick up a brush for the first time and leave the studio creating looks that turn heads. Teaching is personal to me, and I want my students to end up better than I ever was. When we both look at your work and say, “tumba chennagittu” (too good), that's my favourite part of the job.
Who This Course Is For
Doesn’t matter if you’ve never touched an eyeshadow palette or if you already know your way around a contour - I start with the basics and take you all the way to advanced makeup certification level. My goal is to get you industry-ready, whether you’re dreaming of luxe glam, South Indian bridal makeup training, or editorial looks.
What You’ll Actually Learn
- Theory that makes sense - I explain the ‘why’ behind every brushstroke, not just the ‘how’
- Practicals for days - expect a lot of hands-on makeup workshop time, not just watching demos
- Real industry secrets - all my tricks for eyes, lips, and face, straight from my experience in London and India
- Professionalism - how to deal with clients, ethics, and building a real career out of this
My Teaching Style
I keep batches small (never more than 10) so I can actually correct your hand and answer your questions. Classes are intense, sometimes we even run over time, but it’s always a supportive vibe. We work hard, laugh a lot, and everyone gets individual attention.
If you’re serious about makeup, you’ll fit right in.

My Story
Hey, we’re Geethanjali Makeup Studio & Academy. Started in Bangalore, picked up tricks in London, brought it all back home. We believe makeup should be real, not cakey - you, just a bit more luxe. That feeling when a bride looks in the mirror, smiles like she’s royalty? That’s why we do this. Teaching’s our other love. Our academy’s buzzing, and hearing 'class tumba chennagittu' (class was very good) makes us proud. We’re here for the stories, not just the faces.
